Olympia resident and national best selling author Jim Lynch will be at Darvill’s Bookstore on Tuesday, July 27, at 7 p.m. to read from his latest novel, Border Songs.
Lynch’s visit to Darvill’s is one stop on a sailing book tour through the San Juans on his 1970 Bristol 32.
Border Songs was picked as among the best books of 2009 by by many major publications, including The Washington Post and The Toronto Star. His first novel, The Highest Tide, won the 2006 Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award, has been translated into 10 languages, and was adapted to the stage by Seattle’s Book-it Theater. Set in rural Northwest Washington, Border Songs is about a quirky young Border Patrol agent who has a knack for catching illegals and uncovers an international drug running ring.
